2:24 am
outwards. they going away from a collateral hung on costs to glow. asha undo cain alone account for almost 50 percent of global. we'd played a bit a tougher as a senior spokeswoman for the un. well, food program. she says the impacts if the was already being felt between russia and ukraine, we have a 30 percent of the global we production for w. p alone. you clean is the 2nd largest country in terms of the procurement of food. so half of what we get for our operators worldwide come from you claims that include grain, sunflower, oil, and the number of agricultural products and food supplies. so of course, the impact of the conflict in your clean is being felt or ready at our budget. we are expecting $71000000.00 per month,
2:25 am
the increase in the same amount of food that we used to get last month. so that means that we 4000000 people will not receive food assistance. it means that, you know, our budget stretched. so if that is the impact that you get on the workflow program, let alone, what's the situation going to be? for countries that are heavily dependent on inputs and from the, from you clean the russia for the week. there will be a huge impact on the global supplies based on the week on the games. you claim is the bread, basket of europe. that is availability in the international market from the u. s. from canada, australia, but far away from many of the places and the countries that are dependent on the input of wheat and with the increase in fuel prices. this means that you have a longer lead time, but also increasing costs more than 2000000 ukrainian refugees of entered poland

2:27 am
that the american representatives talk about. this is a cynical use of its territory and population for dangerous research, which washington does not carry out on its own territory. so it doesn't run the risk of hurting its own people in the u. s. denies any chemical weapons programs exist. it is russia that has long maintained a biological weapons program in violation of international law. it is russia that has a well documented history of using chemical weapons. it is russia who is the aggressor here. the united states also warned that russia may very well be planning its own chemical weapons attacked using a false flag allegation to justify it. it was the 2nd time in 2 weeks that the security council met on the subject at russia's request. the u. s. hi, representative for disarmament said they had no evidence of chemical or biological
2:28 am
